United manager Louis van Gaal said: “Chris has improved and developed immensely during the short time that I have been at the club and has become an integral part of the first-team squad. I am delighted he has signed a new contract.”
The centre-back joined the Red Devils from Fulham in 2010 and has won two Premier League titles at Old Trafford.
Meanwhile, Van Gaal is expected to sign another centre-back this summer, with Dortmund’s Mats Hummels is the favourite to arrive at the Theatre of Dreams.
